Regretting the two missed guests earlier, Song Qiu wiped the table and turned around to see someone coming to the tea shed.
He couldn't help but hurriedly raised his smile to say hello, "Guests, please come in. I wonder what the guests would like to order? There are herbal teas, ice drinks and iced watermelons!"
After saying this, I saw that the group of people were not only human beings, but there were actually two monkeys sitting among them. They were well-behaved and looked good-looking. If it weren't for their monkey-like faces, I wouldn't have been able to tell that he was a monkey.
Monkey.
Song Qiu was stunned for a moment when he looked at these two monkeys. In his previous life, he had seen little monkeys performing monkey tricks, and he also went to the zoo to see human-like gorillas, but none of them were as human-like as the monkeys in front of him. The key is that the human monkey
He was still wearing silk and satin, and he looked like an old man. I really didn't blame her for being stunned.
The young man sitting at the front seat, who was about 27 or 28 years old, saw the little girl staring at the two monkeys and couldn't help laughing, "What, these two monkeys are interesting? Little girl, this is business
Don’t you even care about doing it?”
Song Qiu came back to his senses and was surprised to realize that he was looking at the two monkeys seriously and made a fool of himself. He quickly looked away and said, "I'm really sorry. I have never seen such smart monkeys, so I was stunned for a moment.
Please don’t be offended, sir. I wonder what your guest wants? I’ll bring it up right now.”
Li Mi waved his hands and didn't care at all. He had seen a lot of these two monkeys since they followed him down the mountain. They were even more exaggerated than this little girl.
Aren't the two monkeys who are envious of his aura following him?
This is the son of the Monkey King!
It's awesome.
Otherwise, that fellow Li Fu would have had to go to great lengths to send people to steal it.
He couldn't be polite to the monkey who dared to covet him. I came here specifically to seek explanation from him!
When had he, Li Mi, been afraid of anyone?
Who is King Yan? After all, he is still his cousin!
"I heard you said there is iced watermelon, right? Then give us three a piece each, and these two monkeys, two pieces each."
Song Qiu responded and hurriedly went back to cutting the watermelon.
When the watermelon was brought, Song Qiu took a peek and saw that the two monkeys were eating slowly and gracefully like their masters. They even grabbed a handkerchief to wipe their mouths. They were really impressive monkeys.
She looked across from a distance, and could still see the vague outline of the Monkey Mountain that Uncle Wujin had told them about.
I heard that there are countless monkeys in the mountains, and there is also a monkey king, and they are all as weird as humans.
Then the Prince of Changshan also ran up the mountain out of curiosity to find some excitement, but he didn't know if he would come back.
Could these two monkeys be the monkeys that ran down from the Monkey Mountain?
Song Qiu was thinking vaguely, and saw that Lihua next to her was even more excited than she was.
Obviously, I also thought of what Uncle Wujin said about Houer Mountain, and I felt that this monkey was the monkey from Houer Mountain. As expected, the rumors were true, and Uncle Wujin did not tell lies.
Unfortunately, they didn't get enough of the clever monkey. After finishing the watermelon, the guests paid the bill and left with the monkey.
Only then did Song Qiu see that the two monkeys were riding in the carriage with their master, and even the two attendants could only sit in the carriage seats. They were really decent people.
It wasn't until the group of people had gone far that Zhang Lihua dared to speak, "Aqiu, do you remember Hou'er Mountain? Do you think these two monkeys are the monkeys from Hou'er Mountain?"
"I don't know if that's true, but this is the first time I've seen such an intelligent monkey."
Old Yuan also felt a little emotional, "Isn't this true? I have lived for most of my life, and this is the first time I have seen this spiritual monkey. He is actually wearing human clothes, sitting as upright as a human being, and can even hold a watermelon by himself."
It’s really strange to eat.”
"Speaking of this, I remembered, has Prince Changshan been found? I wonder if your Uncle Wujin has heard about it, and he didn't come to tell us about the excitement."
Song Qiu responded, "I guess I didn't hear any news. Otherwise, Uncle Wujin said he would come and tell you?"
It was already past noon, and Song Qiu's stomach growled, and the mung bean soup he had eaten when he came back was no longer used.
Seeing the heat wave and no one passing by on the road, Song Qiu simply mixed the flour and planned to make gnocchi to eat.
The fire on the small stove had been sitting, constantly boiling water. Song Qiu first kneaded a lump of noodles a little larger than a palm, then washed the small iron pot he bought in the morning and sat on the small stove.
I washed the small pumpkins I picked when I went back to pull the table, then took a knife and cut them into the pot one by one.
When the pumpkin changes color and tumbles, use your hands to pull out the dough pieces one by one and throw them into the pot to cook together.
Pumpkin gnocchi is the most delicious.
Pull out gnocchi from palm-sized pieces of dough and put them into the pot. Add some salt and continue cooking with the pumpkin.
By the time the gnocchi is cooked, the pumpkin, which was not even thickly cut, has melted. The soup is thick and mixed in the gnocchi, and it looks very fragrant. Add a few drops of sesame oil into it, and the aroma will be even better.
.
Song Qiu prepared three large bowls brought from home, which were much larger than the bowls containing cold shrimps, and was about to fill the bowls with gnocchi.
Three bearded men walked in on foot. They were sweating profusely from the heat, and their beards were stuck to their faces.
"Oh, this weather is so hot! Shopkeeper, hurry up and give us some herbal tea to eat! We're going to die of thirst." One person shouted loudly.
Zhang Lihua hurriedly responded and took the herbal tea in a bamboo tube.
One of the big men shrugged his nose and looked towards Song Qiu, "It's not a tea shed? Is it possible that it sells food? It's just right. I'm starving to death. You don't have a shop in front of you or a village in the back. What's wrong with you?"
It’s very convenient to eat. No matter what, please serve it to us quickly!”
Song Qiugang filled three sea bowls with a pot of pumpkin gnocchi. When he heard what the big man said, he felt a little embarrassed to refuse. He just said: "This is not sold as food. I cooked it for ourselves. That's it."
Ordinary noodles, if the guests don’t mind, I’ll serve them right away.”
When he heard that he had cooked what he wanted to eat, not what was sold, the big man was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shouted and urged: "Hurry up and serve it, I'm starving to death, I can eat anything without being picky!"
Song Qiu then hurriedly served three large bowls of gnocchi together with Old Yuan.
The three big men were indeed very hungry. After taking a big sip of the herbal tea, they were not afraid of burning their mouths and started eating in large gulps. It was obvious that they were enjoying the food.
Song Qiu looked at them and admired their mouths very much. They were copper mouths and they were not afraid of being burned.
His lunch was gone, so Song Qiu had no choice but to make it again.
There was no pumpkin left, but there was still a lot of flour, so I simply mixed the batter, added salt to taste, put sesame oil in the pot, and then spread out a few pancakes randomly to fill my stomach.
Unexpectedly, just after a few pancakes were spread out from the pan, the big man who had already finished a bowl of gnocchi started shouting again, "Are there any more? This is not enough!"
